I have a few friends in common with Dowden and apparently he is a very weird guy

Let's not get carried away, there was a drop a week ago and then it started rising again. This was just a one day drop.

We have such a healthy media

Oh and the finalists for the new role of government press spokesperson are: a former editor of itv news and peston sidekick, a BBC reporter, a BBC politics politics reporter, a sky reporter. 

Also glad to see those journalists holding power to account, via collaborating messaging and strategy with politicians over breakfast, with the usual schmoozing and access in return for deferential coverage:

 

 

How Sunak wooed the press and sparked intrigue over No 10 challenge

The chancellor held socially distanced breakfasts with key journalists, and his upbeat message struck a chord

 

The wave of flattering front-page headlines that followed the chancellor of the exchequer’s statement outlining his autumn strategy to tackle the tottering economy screamed out from news stands across the country.

What was not known was that the often gushing coverage came after a Treasury mission to win the hearts and minds of national newspaper editors and political columnists at a crucial moment for the Conservative party.

Over several socially distanced, strategic breakfast meetings last week Sunak wooed opinion-forming journalists on the right and centre-right of British politics in a smooth operation interpreted by some in the party as a clear challenge to No 10.

I find the Covid deniers stupid, but at the same time some of the logic & inconsistencies with the restrictions are equally stupid.

I’m not denying the existence of a few conspiracy theorist weirdos, but the vast majority of anti lockdown protesters aren’t “covid deniers”
